bristol wholesale fruit and flower market

I am doing the decorating for a wedding next week, so i went for a trip to the fruit and flower market at Bristol to sort out what flowers to order for the event. It was a beautiful sunny day and I felt very inspired by the flowers and plants on offer. If you have an event or a big garden project on the go it is a great place to pick up things at wholesale prices. For example the tulips come in wraps of 50 stems for £12 + vat. If you don't live in the area most citys have a wholesale market it is just a case of finding it (the new covent garden market at Vauxhall in London is another good one!)

  5. Hi - whereabouts is the Bristol flower market? I'd like to do my own flowers for my wedding in August and I live about 30 miles from Bristol. It would be much easier to get the flowers from there than Covent Garden! Thanks
